No type of music can directly "make someone become more intelligent" or permanently "smarter" (broad IQ gains require active learning/practice, not passive listening), but this profile indirectly boosts cognitive performance through reduced stress, better sustained attention, lower distractions, and enhanced memory encoding/recall for many people.

Core Studies on Ambient/Minimal/Drone Music for Focus & Attention

The effect of preferred background music on task-focus in sustained attention (2021, PMC) — Shows preferred background music (including ambient/instrumental) increases task-focus states, decreases mind-wandering, and supports sustained attention on low-demand tasks. Compatible with arousal/mood mediation for cognitive performance.

The sonic energy of background music impacts cognitive performances (2024, PMC) — Background music (low/high-arousal excerpts, including ambient-like) enhances executive control/attentional abilities and word production fluidity; low-arousal (slow, simple) mobilizes resources without disrupting performance.

Familiar Music Reduces Mind Wandering and Boosts Behavioral Performance During Lexical Semantic Processing (PMC) — Familiar ambient-like music reduces mind-wandering and speeds lexical access; unfamiliar audio hinders processing more than neutral sounds.

On Slow Tempo (60-70 BPM) & Cognitive/Memory Effects

Can Music Help You Study and Focus? [Updated 2026] (National University) — Cites studies showing 60-70 BPM music (e.g., Beethoven-inspired) helps study longer, retain more, reduce anxiety, and boost focus/memory via brain hemisphere engagement and relaxation. References Stanford study on music aiding attention.

Best Music for Studying: The Complete Science-Backed Guide (Brain.fm, 2026) — 60-70 BPM tempo supports longer sessions, better retention; ambient/low-arousal music reduces stress/cortisol (impairing memory); beta-modulation hints in ambient improve sustained attention (2024 Communications Biology study cited).

The effect of background music on episodic memory (2015, PMC/NIH) — Emotionally touching/ambient-like music enhances facial memory encoding; silence or low-interference music aids recall better than distracting audio.

On Minimal/Drone/ADHD-Friendly Ambient (No Percussion Benefits)

Various sources (e.g., ADDitude, Audioengine) note beatless ambient/drone helps ADHD brains "tune out noise," regulate effort, and support hyperfocus/deep work by providing structure without overload.

General Reviews/Meta-Analyses

Does Music Help You Study? What the Research Says (Healthline) — Slow, instrumental/ambient music (no lyrics) aids focus/memory in some; reduces anxiety for better absorption.
